Jan Brewer Broadens Hateful Driver's License Ban Beyond DREAMers

Don't know how many of you are familiar with British conspiracy theorist David Icke, the guy who believes a secret race of shape-shifting lizard people have populated the planet in the guise of our political and cultural leaders, but I'm beginning to believe Icke's not spouting bunkum and has been right all along.

How else to explain someone as pro-actively hateful as Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, and her mean-spirited policy of denying driver's licenses to DREAMers who qualify for President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals?

Jan Brewer minus the makeup? I'll never tell...

Well, on Tuesday, Brewer removed all doubt with a filing in federal court as part of her defense of her 2012 executive order preventing law-abiding DREAMers, brought to this country while tots, from obtaining licenses to drive.

See, before Brewer's order, the Arizona Department of Transportation issued driver's licenses to all persons granted deferred action by the feds.

As proof of their deferred status, applicants were required to present a federally-issued employment authorization card, proving they were "authorized under federal law" to remain in the United States.

But in a fit of political spite aimed at the Obama administration, Brewer issued her executive order carving out an exception in ADOT policy, so as to deny DREAMers driver's licenses.

As a result, the ACLU and other civil rights groups sued on behalf of the Arizona Dream Act Coalition, seeking a preliminary injunction against the governor's order on the grounds that it violated the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution as well as the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law.

In May, U.S. District Court Judge David G. Campbell ruled against ADAC on the Supremacy Clause claim, dismissing it entirely.

But he rejected Brewer and ADOT's request for dismissal on the equal protection claim, agreeing with the plaintiffs that, "DACA recipients are similarly situated to other noncitizens holding [EACs] who are eligible to obtain driver's licenses in Arizona."

Campbell found that the claim fell short of the high bar for an injunction, while stating that the plaintiffs were likely to prevail in their assertion that Brewer's order was discriminatory.

Faced with an inevitable loss, Brewer and ADOT told the court that they would be reviewing state regulations, signaling a possible change.

If any of you are Christian, I so hope that your religion is right. I will totally spend an eternity in Hell for being wrong in exchange for watching you stammering and stuttering in front of your God when he asks you why you think a racist, bigoted asshole deserves eternal salvation.

"So, let me get this straight... The only thing you took away from the book was that I hate homos? Did you glance over the plot twist at the end where I said 'Love thy neighbor, give all you own to the poor, the meek shall inherit the earth...?' Did you miss that part where Abraham bathes the foreign travelers feet in oil, and then is rewarded when it turns out they're really angels in disguise? I mean, it was pretty clear. What happened here?""Well -uh-.... Well, m'ah freedoms, your Royal-King-Highness, Sir. T-they... they were after m'ah freedoms."

SHUT THE FUCK UP!! THAT STATE RESERVES ALL RIGHTS FOR DRIVERS LICENSE AND LAST TIME I CHECKED THE ILLEGALS WERENT CITIZENS OF MY COUNTRY!!! GET THE ILLEGALS OUT AND CALL ICE!!! CALL (602) 766-7030 IF YOU SEE ILLEGALS THAT'S PHOENIX ICE NUMBER TO DEPORT THESE WETBACKS!!

Sure! Blame the Conservatives
over the cut in food stamps? What the left doesn't mention is, that under
President Obama's rule everybody can get this freebie? Let's face it, illegal
aliens have been on the benefit rolls for years, using stolen Social Security
numbers of citizens and legal residents. And further, I blame both sides of the
political spectrum from not amending the Birthright Citizenship Act, by
stopping ILLEGAL ALIEN BABIES/CHILDREN smuggled into AMERICA
and racking up benefits in hundreds of Billions of dollars. If I had my way all
the instigators of this fabricated law, giving illegal alien’s taxpayer’s money
to supplement their income through their children should be thrown out of
office.

ENOUGH!
Cover-ups, corruption, bribery, espionage, treason—this is Obama's
administration. It is time to stop the biggest threat to our nation.

Both illegal aliens and the
"Overstays" should be held accountable, fined and imprisoned. The law
was meant for the successors of slavery, not for illegal aliens, not for
anybody else but the progeny of citizens. This is the worst government in
American history, which is destroying this country bit by bit; turning it into
a Liberal wasteland. We are a country divided and both parties are owned by
special interests, except for a insignificant few. Our government is a hellhole
of corruption and rot, which allegiance to the American people is spat upon.

THIS IS WHY OUR COUNTRY IS GOING ON THE ROCKS, AS JUST IN THE COUNTY
OF LOS ANGELES? THIS IS THE COST TO
SUPPORT THE ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION.

THIS IS IN JUST ONE COUNTY?
THESE ARE NOT LIES, BUT FACTS. BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES ARE PANDERING TO ILLEGAL
ALIENS. GOP FOR CHEAP LABOR AND DEMOCRATS FOR CHEAP VOTES, UNDERMINING A ONCE A
SECURE ELECTION POLICY, THAT DOESN’T EXIST ANYMORE.

The illegal alien travesty has
got so bad in California, that the Democratic assembly has voted to give
illegal aliens drivers licenses, when traffic issues is just one nightmare for
commuters. Arizona on the other
hand, a state that bears the brunt of the invasion is not intimidated by the
fear that Eric Holder and the Justice Department instills in different states.

A projected $650 million in welfare benefits will be distributed to illegal
alien parents in
2013, county officials said Monday.

Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich announced the latest figures from the
Department of Public Social Services, which showed more than $376 million in
CalWORKs benefits and food stamps combined have been distributed through July
to illegal alien parents for their native-born children.

Approximately $54 million in welfare payments are issued each month, consisting
of nearly $20 million in CalWORKs and $34 million in food stamp issuances,
according to the data.

An estimated 100,000 children of 60,000 undocumented parents receive aid in
Los Angeles County, according to Antonovich, who said this year’s projections —
up about $1 million from the nearly $53 million in total benefits issued in
July 2012 — underscore the economic impact of the nation’s immigration
debate.

“When you add the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for
healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers exceeds
$1.6 billion dollars a year,” Antonovich said in a statement. “These costs do not
even include the hundreds of millions of dollars spent annually for education.”

ILLEGAL
ALIENS ARE VOTING IN OUR ELECTIONS, WE MUST ALL BE ARMED WITH A BIO-METRIC
SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, TO STOP JOB THEFT, VOTER FRAUD AND CREDIT THEFT.

Do me a favor. Stop filing and stop paying federal income tax. When the IRS knocks on your door and levies your property just tell them, "No. No. No. This activity isnt illegal, it's just 'undocumented' income --- now absolve what you state I owe'. Do THAT and tell me how that works out for you.

Your right, only Native Americans should have state drivers licenses and the ability to vote. Everyone else[including you] is illegal. That is unless you have official medical documentation proving you are in fact 100% Native American..

TBH this is the state where the corrupt and mentally sick rule with an iron fist. Candy Andy is 'running' for governor, Arpaio has been proven a racist xenophobe, Huppenthal pulled a book at the behest of one parent's whim, GED Jan keeps pulling racist bullshit, and MontyPug opposes ethical rules that actually comply with the Constitution.

Before they drive they need to learn English. We as a country have decided that buying votes is more important than making people be responsible. I'm tired of footing the bill for people who just come here to take and not contribute to the pot.

It's funny how the only job Central Americans can get is mowing lawns and dusting the art of upper class. I'll start asking for immigration reform when European Americans start looking for work in front of Home Depot.

NO! anything she proposes is a negative. Drivers licenses are a great way to identify these people and know who's in our country. Without a license, they cannot get auto insurance, and the more uninsured motorists out there, the higher our insurance premiums are. Without a license, they cannot open bank accounts, so that hurts our economy as well.

The reality is our federal government does not want to enforce most of the immigration laws passed by congress It seems now we have 2 sets of laws that our local authorities must abide by. One is for citizens caught committing a crime and one for illegal immigrants that have family ties here This insanity must stop. Legalize the bas-ards but no citizenship then tax the sh-t out of them just like the rest of us. Whether those people have a driver's license or not they are going to drive if they get caught nothing will happen to them now but for the rest of us we get ticketed and fined. Having 2 sets of rule's because one group in our society could be deported is plain B.S.

You're absolutely right. All of those immigrants who pay into taxes every year, without being able to receive benefits, or whom are paid under the table to save their employer money are destroying America. They're robbing the American people of millions, heavily detracting from the trillions of rightfully earned tax dollars that could be spent on future corporate bank bailouts. Let's get real here, white collar scandal is just that. Innocent scandals, where billions of dollars pass hands over our heads! It's not like that money leaves the economy to go to some offshore hedge fund. I mean the real problem comes from those seemingly "poor" immigrants. You might think, hey, a few dollars here to paint a house, a few dollars there to mow a lawn, but this results in hundreds of thousands of dollars of economic loss sent back to Mexico that COULD be used to pay someone more to do the same job because they're American! I mean, the law was totally meant for the successors of slavery. Not our current slaves. That'd be preposterous. Illegal aliens voting in YOUR government elections? It's more likely than you think. You may ask yourself, then why is it alright for Mickey Mouse, and hundreds of the deceased to vote in our elections? Well, because they're American, you're goddamn right, I'll tell you that. There's nothing more American than Mickey Mouse. And why the heck should we pay for an illegal immigrants education anyway? It's not like education for a permanent resident with illegal status could ever come back to benefit us. How am I supposed to pay someone with a high school, potentially even a COLLEGE (god forbid am i right?) education, with better marks than my own child less money to paint my fence? And once the serfs can read, we know it's going to be all over. If we continue along this pattern, we're going to find the same problems that the Crown did. Soon, these increasingly intelligent illegal immigrants will outrace us to space technology, and once they've formed their moon base, they're going to want independence too! Then, there goes our hopes of a moon colony. I knew I should've voted Gingrich.

Can you believe this?In an article by the NewYorkTimes, they have the gall to write such garbage:As the baby boomers retire, the post-boom generation’s burden to finance their retirement is greatly alleviated by undocumented immigrants. Stephen Goss, chief actuary for the Social Security Administration, told me that undocumented workers contribute about $15 billion a year to Social Security through payroll taxes. They only take out $1 billion (very few undocumented workers are eligible to receive benefits). Over the years, undocumented workers have contributed up to $300 billion, or nearly 10 percent, of the $2.7 trillion Social Security Trust Fund.

Those immigrants think that they can disproportionately outpay hardworking AMERICANS in our OWN social security fund?! Where do they get off. I'll tell you where, MEXICO! Right after Sheriff Joe brings those damn illegals back where they belong.

A true American always knows that numbers and words will never outshine pride.

@Linda Marie Reiter Dreamers speak 2 languages and speak english better than most racist goons that post on this blog so get over it already. They also work their asses off so white women like you can collect welfare. Check the real stats. What I am tired of is white privilege thinking they deserve what others work for.

@TRUTH, U R stating that as a fact..."..need to get all the muthafuqs off the road that aren't going to get auto insurance. This group happens to be the largest", would u care to show any proof? or is it that u r just opening ur money making sucking meat hole like a liar right winger. Probably u don't even have auto insurance urself. BTW, u should change ur user name 4: UNTHRUTH.

@car_del99 And speaking of educated del, when you stated ---- "Being a governor don't men sh*t in her case." wouldn't you have appeared more educated if you would have said Being a governor doesn't mean sh*t, in her case?

@DivineProfitDense, keep in mind that that SS check, the Welfare & the Nutritional Assistance (food stamps) that probably u & ur family r receiving, is being funded by all those "illegals's" UNCLAIMED IMCOME TAX RETURNS, & without them, d US would collapse, so stop d bitching.
